Now for the second edition of Geneva Watch Days, Bvlgari is out to wow women with these three incredible high jewellery Divina Mosaica watches.Roman Mosaic FloorsBvlgari is proud of its Roman roots and often takes design inspiration from the formidable architecture and decorative motifs of imperial Rome. The Divina Mosaica, as its name suggests, takes its elegant fan-shaped motifs on the dial from a particular mosaic design found in the ancient Baths of Caracalla. Initiated by emperor Septimus Severus in 206 AD and completed by his son Caracalla in 216, the luxurious Caracalla Baths w

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "James Bond" Numbered Edition
About a year ago, Omega revealed its first watch dedicated to the upcoming James Bond 007 movie No Time to Die. This model, inspired by the secret agent but not worn in the movie, has been followed by the actual film watch, a titanium Seamaster Diver 300M that we reviewed here. And even though the movie has been delayed for obvious reasons, the Biel-based brand still plays on the 007 theme and today introduces a luxurious, numbered edition of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M “James Bond”.Visually, this new edition does not apparently feature many differences. Same case shape, same spiral-inspired dial, same allusions to Bond… Yet, there is more than meets the eye and this new version is all about high-end materials. The case retains the classic Seamaster Diver 300M shape, with a 42mm diameter, its signature helium escape valve at 10 o’clock and the typically Omega twisted lugs. Yet, it is now made of platinum-gold, which is brushed and polished. It also features a

Hands-On - The Heuer Monaco Worn by Steve McQueen in 'Le Mans'

Daytona reference 6239 became the?most expensive wristwatch ever – the world record holder is now a unique?steel Patek Philippe Grand Master Chime for Only Watch. It is hard to pin down exactly what will make a watch a star at auctions. The brand’s name, the scarcity of the model or its specificities are essential. The fact that a watch was once owned by a celebrity or has a story related to an icon of cool can ramp up the sales price significantly People need something they can connect to. And what better way to impress by presenting a watch that was worn by the “King of Cool” himself, Steve McQueen.Steve McQueen with one of the Heuer Monaco 1133B used during the shooting, on the set of the 1971 ‘Le Mans’ movie.On Saturday, 12 December 2020, at the New York RACING PULSE auction, Phillips will offer

Glashutte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Bucherer Blue Editions (Specs & Price)
Following up with its exclusive collection of blue-coloured watches, the Bucherer “Blue Editions”, which include some pretty cool watches such as this Oris Chronograph or this Breguet Marine, major Swiss watch retailer Bucherer continues to expand its line-up with a high-end piece, this time in a limited edition, with various evolutions compared to the standard model. Say hello to the Glashutte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Bucherer “Blue Editions”.Apart from introducing some changes to the dials or the straps, the common denominator of (almost) all the Bucherer “Blue Editions” is the use of specific blue dials – or blue details, such as the movement side of this Moser. This was the case when this whole concept began, however, as interest grows, the Swiss retailer has started to make some more dramatic changes on these watches – see the dial of this Breguet for instance, more than just a colour change.

Interview: Favre Leuba Returns With Patrik Hoffmann At The Helm
Patrik Hoffmann has been at the forefront of the watch industry for years, notably as CEO of Ulysse Nardin and Executive Vice President of Watchbox. Now, this industry veteran is leading the revival of one of the oldest Swiss watch brands with ambitious plans. Established in 1737, Favre Leuba boasts a rich heritage, particularly from the 1960s, when it created the FL 251 twin barrel movement and iconic tool watches such as the Bivouac with its aneroid altimeter and dive watches like the Deep Blue or the Bathy with its depth gauge. In 1985, following the quartz crisis, the family, which had run the brand for eight generations, had to sell it. Since then, Favre-Leuba has changed hands several times, with various attempts to revive its illustrious name. The brand now embarks on a new chapter, unveiling four new collections and 22 watches during Geneva Watch Days. Just before the event, we had the opportunity to sit down with Patrik Hoffmann in Grenchen, where the brand is headquartered, t
